The current climate shows a clear trend toward payers bearing the majority of risk to providers bearing the majority of risk. How do providers survive financially during this transition from the fee for service payment or volume based incentive model to the value-based model? Part of the solution lies in a provider perception augmentation. Providers will need to view patients as customers in addition to viewing them as they traditionally do, as patients. Improving quality, reducing costs and assuring accurate clinical documentation is another essential element of the solution. In this quality/cost curve measure, a physician buying group or PBG like MPPG delivers the cost reduction outcome providers can confidently rely on. This is particularly true for vaccine purchasing, as vaccines are an undisputed strategy for value based purchasing within the providers realm. Taking control on costs is something MPPG can help with, at no charge as the dust settles during this US healthcare market storm.
